Kamakura's big Buddha

Time for... Science... I went for a international conference to Hayama, a small town somewhere in between of nowhere, but at least not far from Kamakura.
 
Kamarura is a town where the second biggest Buddha in Japan has his place. They say that Kamakura's Buddha is more important then the one in Nara (the biggest one), because Buddha in Nara was many times reconstructed and in Kamakura is the original. I dont want to take a part in this argue and I am planning to see both, started from Kamakura...
 
In Kamakura there is also a nice temple and a lot of sakura trees, but for that one we still have to wait a bit ;)
